Day After Christmas

Thanks again to Team Gore for inviting me and Saucy into the Christmas day traditions and celebrations yesterday, we had such a lovely (and loving) time!



Only the Gores are worth getting up ass early (for a holiday, anyway!) and driving to Chatsworth... then again, we were greeted with freshly made french toast, sausage (both real and Saucyfied meatless), bacon, and pomegranate juice. Even more amazing? The power had gone out the night before, so somehow Kathleen pulled this off on battery-powered appliances ONLY. Blows your mind. (And your belly...)



We then went to the Winnetka Church (aka the movie theater) to see the morning screening of The Water Horse, "the most magical film since E.T." (So said the ad, anyway.) This would be true if by "magical" they meant "heartbreaking"... I won't even get into the war scenes. However, it was very sweet and we all left wanting to have little Scottish boy toddlers with stunning eyes and cheekbones for our very own. (Also, Amber and I cried our eyes out, I won't lie.) I recovered enough, however, to try and steal Veronica by making a break of it in the lobby. I didn't make it far.



Mostly because it's hard to outrun three grown women wearing matching pajamas. That's right; Team Gore dresses alike on Christmas, and here "alike" means "identicaly flannel pajamas with holiday imagery and lobsters". No, that's not a typo. Following the movie, we ate more (yummmm... brisket) then all basically passed out watching A Christmas Story.



So really, an ideal day. Also... after mentioning Veronica's new "what you talkin' about willis?" look, one of Veronica's Blogs Readers (aka my girl Heather), sent in a sweet video comparison. Here's Veronica's look:



And here is the video, which we'll be using as inspiration to train her to this level of hilarity/perfection in the coming months:

Hope everyone else had an amazing holiday, and thanks and love again to the Gores for taking us in!
